A wolf in sheep's clothing. Having to uncover all the deep secrets beyond the truth of one's own origin is a scary thing to think about and this book came to tell a story just about it. In the first half, it intrigued me so much what lies under the mystery behind their disappearances. It somehow reminds me of Stranger Things when it came to an otherworldly path though this relied on a door. The craft of character building on the story was so interesting mainly because it involves nature, especially flowers. When all confusions came to fit like a puzzle, I got goosebumps over how Grey functions. Among the three sisters, Vivi is my favorite actually. There were a lot of despairing moments which can be really depressing and anxiety-inducing, better take note of that. It would be great to have a sequel on the book since it ended with loose ends.
